KEY TOPICS

As of this version, Sun replaced the name “J2SE” with Java SE and dropped the “.0” from the version number. 35 Other major changes include support for pluggable annotations ( JSR 269 ), many GUI improvements, including native UI enhancements to support the look and feel of Windows Vista, and improvements to the Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) & JVM Tool Interface for better monitoring and troubleshooting.[1] Notable changes included the bundling of the HotSpot JVM (the HotSpot JVM was first released in April, 1999 for the J2SE 1.2 JVM), JavaSound, Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA). [1]

The Java platform provides a security architecture 79 which is designed to allow the user to run untrusted bytecode in a “sandboxed” manner to protect against malicious or poorly written software. [1]

It provides everything you need to embrace the Java language in an enterprise environment, with support for Groovy and Kotlin as alternative languages on the JVM, and with the flexibility to create many kinds of architectures depending on an application’s needs. As of Spring Framework 5.0, Spring requires JDK 8+ (Java SE 8+) and provides out-of-the-box support for JDK 9 already. [2] While the Java security architecture can in many cases help to protect users and systems from hostile or misbehaving code, it cannot defend against implementation bugs that occur in trusted code. [3]

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE), complementing the JVM with a just-in-time (JIT) compiler, converts intermediate bytecode into native machine code on the fly.[1] The Java compiler, which converts Java source code into Java bytecode (an intermediate language for the JVM), is provided as part of the Java Development Kit (JDK). [1] Writing in the Java programming language is the primary way to produce code that will be deployed as byte code in a Java virtual machine (JVM); byte code compilers are also available for other languages, including Ada, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. [1] There is a JIT (Just In Time) compiler within the Java Virtual Machine, or JVM. The JIT compiler translates the Java bytecode into native processor instructions at run-time and caches the native code in memory during execution. [1] A Java Plug-in was released, and Sun’s JVM was equipped with a JIT compiler for the first time. [1] I’ve previously introduced the JDK and JVM. In this quick tutorial, you’ll learn about the JRE, which is the runtime environment for Java. [4] From an installation perspective, anytime you download a JDK, it will include a version-compatible JRE, and that JRE will include a default JVM. You also can download the JRE separately from the JDK, and you may choose from a variety of JVMs. Defaults work well for most implementations, especially when you’re starting out with Java. [4]

JMH is a Java harness for building, running, and analyzing benchmarks written in Java and other languages targeting the JVM. [5] The use of a JIT compiler means that Java applications, after a short delay during loading and once they have “warmed up” by being all or mostly JIT-compiled, tend to run about as fast as native programs. 20 21 22 Since JRE version 1.2, Sun’s JVM implementation has included a just-in-time compiler instead of an interpreter. [1] As a developer, you’ll mostly work with the JDK and JVM, because those are the platform components you use to develop and run your Java programs. [4] Although Java programs are cross-platform or platform independent, the code of the Java Virtual Machines (JVM) that execute these programs is not. [1] The JVM is responsible for ensuring Java applications have the resources they need to run and perform well in your device or cloud environment. [4] The Java Runtime Environment is the on-disk program that loads Java applications for the JVM to execute. [4] Oracle (and others) has announced that using older (than Java 8) versions of their JVM implementation presents serious risks due to unresolved security issues. 15 16 17 Java 6 and 7 18 had their last non-public security update in April 2018 (July and October forthcoming). [1] The JRE is the on-disk system that takes your Java code, combines it with the necessary libraries, and starts the JVM to execute it. [4] Third parties have produced many compilers or interpreters that target the JVM. Some of these are for existing languages, while others are for extensions to the Java language. [1]

Let us take a look on the JCG Car Rentals architecture diagram below.[6] Architecture overview Basic architecture diagram and a brief explanation of connection protocols. [7]

C,C++ code is machine dependent while Java is platform indepentent because of JVM. [8] Most of them have an excellent level of the interoperability with the code written in the plain old Java so it is really easy to take the polyglot microservices route staying entirely on JVM platform. [6]

The Java Native Interface (JNI) is a standard programming interface for writing Java native methods and embedding a JVM into native applications. [3] Beside just Java, there are many other languages which natively run on JVM, like for example Scala, Kotlin, Clojure, Groovy, Ceylon to mention a few. [6] JVM is vital part of java, it takes byte code as an input and converts it into machine code. [8] Java compiler compiles the java source code and converts it into byte code after that code is handed over to JVM. [8] JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine which is platform dependent. [8] Why: Akka HTTP has proven to be an outstanding framework for implementing RESTful web services on JVM. Although it has Java DSL, the usage of Scala in the first place gives the most out of it. [6] Every operating system has its own JVM which has its own implementation of Java as per operating system. [8]

Oracle The release of Java 7 update 40 adds some important new features, including JVM monitoring tools, task control, Java applet rule sets, Web Start applications, and a large number of bug fixes. [9] Java The process consumes too much CPU and the JVM has a great bit of memory virtualization technology, which gives you the illusion that you have unlimited memory, but it costs a lot. [9] It is very useful to analyze the JAVA memory problem for tuning.If you want to learn the JVM memory model, you will find that every value here is meaningful. [9] Java task control (JMC) is a product time tool suite, and its root is the JRockit JVM tool. [9] JMC works with Java Flight Recorder for HotSpot JVM to record core data and events. [9]

Teams use a diagram of the solution architecture (which the team architects happily drew) to form the scaffolding for identifying the work that needed to be done.[10] Java Flight Logger: provides a way to collect events from the operating system layer, JVM and Java application layer. [9] In order to execute the compiled code of java (Byte Code), we need JVM (which is platform dependent ). [11] JVM make the processor to execute Java compile code aka Byte Code. [11] Any vendor can develop and provide a JVM by following the Java Virtual Machine Specification. [11] Java Virtual Machine is software implementation (collection of program ) of SUN specification (for JVM) which provides complete environment to execute Java application. [11] Secure : Java program always runs on top of JVM (Java Virtual Machine ), hence java program have no direct interaction with native OS. You will never hear that virus attack on Java Program / Application. [11]

We need JVM to execute a JAVA application or Byte Code on Processor / CPU by loading required executable code in RAM. Using JVM, we completely relieve the Operating System from its responsibility of executing an application. [11] Even though JAVA (application /program ) depends upon JVM (which is platform dependent), we call Java as platform independent because JVM working in the system is not considered wrt platform dependency factors. [11] JVM directly controls the operation of the processor with respect to Java application I.e. [11] JVM follows the concept of Dynamic Loading for executing a Java application. [11] As you probably know is a statically typed programming language that runs on the JVM. That’s why it is often compared with Java language. [12]

POSSIBLY USEFUL

While the so-called Java applets for web browsers no longer are the most popular use of Java (with it e.g. more used server-side) or the most popular way to run code client-side (JavaScript took over as more popular), it still is possible to run Java (or other JVM-languages such as Kotlin) in web browsers, even after JVM-support has been dropped from them, using e.g. TeaVM. [1] Unsigned large numbers are also used in many numeric processing fields, including cryptography, which can make Java less convenient to use for these tasks. 72 Although it is possible to partially circumvent this problem with conversion code and using larger data types, it makes using Java cumbersome for handling the unsigned data. [1]

Java syntax borrows heavily from C and C++, but object-oriented features are modeled after Smalltalk and Objective-C. 11 Java eschews certain low-level constructs such as pointers and has a very simple memory model where objects are allocated on the heap (while some implementations e.g. all currently supported by Oracle, may use escape analysis optimization to allocating on the stack instead) and all variables of object types are references. [1] We will use the Stream-based Java ORM named Speedment that can perform data analytics using standard java.util.stream.Stream objects and how some of these streams can be created and completed in under 200 ns which, surprisingly, is only about two times the latency of a CPU accessing 64-bit main memory. [5]

This and subsequent releases through J2SE 5.0 were rebranded Java 2 and the version name “J2SE” ( Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition ) replaced JDK to distinguish the base platform from J2EE ( Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition ) and J2ME ( Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition ). [1] Java provides cross platform user interface for some high end collaborative applications such as Lotus Notes. [1] Oracle has implemented Java as a part of their enterprise platform service offerings in Oracle Cloud called Java Cloud Service based on Oracle WebLogic Server for developing and deploying new or existing Java EE applications. [1] Java is a set of computer software and specifications developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems, which was later acquired by the Oracle Corporation, that provides a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform computing environment. [1]

Like other standard code libraries, the Java libraries provide the programmer a well-known set of functions to perform common tasks, such as maintaining lists of items or performing complex string parsing. [1] Java has become the standard development platform for many companies’ IT departments, which do most or all of their corporate development in Java. [1] For these reasons, it is more of a transitional language to switch from Java to the.NET platform than it is a first class.NET language. [1] Enterprise use of Java has also long been the main driver of open source interest in the platform. [1] Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms from embedded devices and mobile phones to enterprise servers and supercomputers. [1] Since the introduction of Java, it has been by far the most widely used Java software development kit (SDK). citation needed It contains a Java compiler, a full copy of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and many other important development tools. [1] The Java Runtime Environment is a software layer that runs on top of a computer’s operating system, providing additional services specific to Java. [4] In most cases, Java support is unnecessary in Web browsers, and security experts recommend that it not be run in a browser unless absolutely necessary. 68 It was suggested that, if Java is required by a few Web sites, users should have a separate browser installation specifically for those sites. [1] ” ” Unless it is absolutely necessary to run Java in web browsers, disable it”, DHS-sponsored CERT team says – Naked Security”. [1] It’s still possible to run Java in web browsers after most of them having dropped support for Java’s VM. [1] Java Card : A technology that allows small Java-based applications ( applets ) to be run securely on smart cards and similar small-memory devices. [1] Java bytecode can either be interpreted at run time by a virtual machine, or it can be compiled at load time or runtime into native code which runs directly on the computer’s hardware. [1] Java runs on more than 850 million personal computers worldwide, and on billions of devices worldwide, including mobile and TV devices. [1]

Android, in all supported versions, executes the code on the ART VM (formerly the Dalvik VM up to Android 4.4.4) instead of the Java VM. [1] The source code for Sun’s implementations of Java (i.e. the de facto reference implementation) has been available for some time, but until recently, when? the license terms severely restricted what could be done with it without signing (and generally paying for) a contract with Sun. [1]

If you’re working in a devops environment, or interested in branching out into devops, it’s a good idea to understand how Java memory works and how it’s monitored in the JRE. [4] Java is also used in the MATLAB mathematics programming environment, both for rendering the user interface and as part of the core system. [1] Responding to recent Java security and vulnerability issues, security blogger Brian Krebs has called for users to remove at least the Java browser plugin and also the entire software. [1] Once the JRE is installed, you can interact with it on the command-line by entering java -version, which will tell you what version is installed. [4] In most cases, your computer will come with Java installed, and the JRE will be included with that. [4] Most mobile devices come with a JRE for Java ME, which is pre-installed on the mobile device and is not available for download. [4]

During this tutorial you will create three microservices with different languages: Java, Kotlin and Groovy. [13] Major additions included reflection, a collections framework, Java IDL (an interface description language implementation for CORBA interoperability), and the integration of the Swing graphical API into the core classes. [1] When generics were added to Java 5.0, there was already a large framework of classes (many of which were already deprecated ), so generics were chosen to be implemented using erasure to allow for migration compatibility and re-use of these existing classes. [1] Download Microservices for Java Developers : A hands-on introduction to frameworks and containers. [14] Create a Java gateway app which consumes both books and inventory microservices. [13]

Micronaut applications can be written in Java, Kotlin and Groovy. [13] Understanding how to tune these flags for specific program needs is an important aspect of memory management in Java. [4] Unsigned data are often generated from programs written in C and the lack of these types prevents direct data interchange between C and Java. [1]

Entire new APIs, such as Swing and Java 2D, have evolved, and many of the original JDK 1.0 classes and methods have been deprecated. [1] The Java Development Kit ( JDK ) is a Sun product aimed at Java developers. [1]

Metaspace is where Java keeps your program’s unchanging info like class definitions. [4] Java 9 is no longer supported, so Oracle advises its users to “immediately transition” to Java 10. [1] “A close look at how Oracle installs deceptive software with Java updates”. [1] The Java runtime environment has a history of bundling sponsored software to be installed by default during installation and during the updates which roll out every month or so. [1]

Accompanying Gage’s announcement, Marc Andreessen, Executive Vice President of Netscape Communications Corporation, unexpectedly announced that Netscape browsers would include Java support. [1] You can use the -Xms and -Xmx flags to tell Java how big to start the heap, and how big to allow it to become. [4] Previously, you would use the command java -XX:MaxPermSize to monitor the size of permgen space. [4]

Java memory consists of three components: the heap, stack and metaspace (which was previously called permgen). [4] Heap space is the most dynamic part of the Java memory system. [4] Learn how you, as a Java developer, can improve performance by orders of magnitude using in-JVM-technology and Java Streams. [5] In this article, I will show how we can create Java Streams directly from RAM using in-JVM-memory technology. [5]

Java ME (Micro Edition): Specifies several different sets of libraries (known as profiles) for devices with limited storage, display, and power capacities. [1] Stack space is the source of the second-most-notorious error in Java programming: the stack overflow exception (the first is the pointer exception). [4] “Homeland Security warns to disable Java amid zero-day flaw”. [1] Newer versions, such as for Java 10 (and earlier), have made small changes, meaning the bytecode is in general only forward compatible. [1] Micronaut Http Client makes it easy to parse JSON into Java objects. [13] “Oracle issues fix for Java exploit after DHS warns of its holes”. [1] Java ME has become popular in mobile devices, where it competes with Symbian, BREW, and the.NET Compact Framework. [1]

The use of bytecode as an intermediate language permits Java programs to run on any platform that has a virtual machine available. [1] Google’s Android operating system uses the Java language, but not its class libraries, therefore the Android platform cannot be called Java. [1] When some underlying platform does not support all of the features a Java application expects, the class libraries work to gracefully handle the absent components, either by emulation to provide a substitute, or at least by providing a consistent way to check for the presence of a specific feature. [1] Java applets, which are less common than standalone Java applications, were commonly run in secure, sandboxed environments to provide many features of native applications through being embedded in HTML pages. [1] The java.net and java.io libraries implement an abstraction layer in native OS code, then provide a standard interface for the Java applications to perform those tasks. [1] While you have a variety of JDK packages to choose from (such as Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition) that isn’t the case with the JRE. Most computers run a JRE developed for Java SE, which is able to run any Java application regardless of how it was developed. [4] As a Java application user, you would be more involved with the JRE, which lets you run those programs. [4] The Java Runtime Environment is updated for each new version of Java, and its version numbers align with the Java platform versioning system, so for example JRE 1.8 runs Java 8. [4] The JRE contains libraries and software that your Java programs need to run. [4] While there is a conceptual side to the JRE, in real-world practice it’s just software installed on a computer, whose purpose is to run your Java programs. [4] The JRE smoothes over the diversity of operating systems, ensuring that Java programs can run on virtually any OS without modification. [4] Java is not specific to any processor or operating system as Java platforms have been implemented for a wide variety of hardware and operating systems with a view to enable Java programs to run identically on all of them. [1]

The Java platform provides a comprehensive set of its own standard class libraries containing many of the same reusable functions commonly found in modern operating systems. [1] Because the Java platform is not dependent on any specific operating system, applications cannot rely on any of the pre-existing OS libraries. [1] The essential components in the platform are the Java language compiler, the libraries, and the runtime environment in which Java intermediate bytecode executes according to the rules laid out in the virtual machine specification. [1] A Java platform will include an execution engine (called a virtual machine ), a compiler and a set of libraries ; there may also be additional servers and alternative libraries that depend on the requirements. [1]

Java SE 8 (March 18, 2014) Notable changes include language-level support for lambda expressions ( closures ) and default methods, the Project Nashorn JavaScript runtime, a new Date and Time API inspired by Joda Time, and the removal of PermGen. This version is not officially supported on the Windows XP platform. 40 However, due to the end of Java 7’s lifecycle it is the recommended version for XP users. [1] Oracle recommended that Java SE 9 users upgrade to Java SE 9.0.4, 14 which is the final security update released in March 2018. [1] Oracle strongly recommends that all Java SE 9 users upgrade to this release. [1]

Java EE (Enterprise Edition): Java SE plus various APIs which are useful for multi-tier client-server enterprise applications. [1] Java SE (Standard Edition): For general-purpose use on desktop PCs, servers and similar devices. [1] Basically, the JRE provides the “knobs” you would use to configure and control the characteristics of a Java application. [4] In these environments, the JRE takes a stronger role in monitoring and configuration than it would in traditional Java application development. [4] Some Java applications are in fairly widespread desktop use, including the NetBeans and Eclipse integrated development environments, and file sharing clients such as LimeWire and Vuze. [1]

This trend has been supported for Java platform support for EAI standards like messaging and Web services and has fueled the inclusion of the Java platform as a development basis in such standards as SCA, XAM and others. [1] The Java platform has become the main development platform for many software tools and platforms that are produced by third-party software groups (commercial, open source and hybrid) and are used as configurable (rather than programmable) tools by companies. [1] The heart of the Java platform is the concept of a “virtual machine” that executes Java bytecode programs. [1] The Java platform consists of several programs, each of which provides a portion of its overall capabilities. [1] The Java platform is a suite of programs that facilitate developing and running programs written in the Java programming language. [1] The word “Java”, alone, usually refers to Java programming language that was designed for use with the Java platform. [1] The JCP uses Java Specification Requests (JSRs) to propose and specify additions and changes to the Java platform. [1] This became the first release of the Java platform developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 59. 32 Major changes included regular expressions modeled after Perl, exception chaining, an integrated XML parser and XSLT processor ( JAXP ), and Java Web Start. [1] Through the coupling of Java to the web server, the Java platform has become a leading platform for integrating the Web with enterprise backend systems. [1] Programming languages are typically outside of the scope of the phrase “platform”, although the Java programming language was listed as a core part of the Java platform before Java 7. [1] The Java platform and language began as an internal project at Sun Microsystems in December 1990, providing an alternative to the C++/ C programming languages. [1] The Java class libraries serve three purposes within the Java platform. [1] As the runtime environment for Java, the JRE contains the Java class libraries, the Java class loader, and the Java Virtual Machine. [4] A JRE is included by default when you download the Java Development Kit, and each JRE includes the core Java class libraries, a Java class loader, and a Java Virtual Machine. [4]

This important piece of software loads compiled Java code into memory and connects the code to the appropriate Java class libraries. [4]

In addition to language changes, significant changes have been made to the Java class library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5.0. [1] The Java language has undergone several changes since the release of JDK ( Java Development Kit ) 1.0 on January 23, 1996, as well as numerous additions of classes and packages to the standard library. [1] A 64-bit unsigned value cannot be stored using any integer type in Java because no type larger than 64 bits exists in the Java language. [1]

It’s a classic example of abstraction, abstracting the underlying operating system into a consistent platform for running Java applications. [4] Managing the JRE is a part of managing systems that run Java applications. [4] These flaws affect only Java applications which execute arbitrary untrusted bytecode, such as web browser plug-ins that run Java applets downloaded from public websites. [1]

Several languages have been designed to run natively on the JVM, including Scala, Clojure and Apache Groovy. [1] The JVM was extended with support for dynamic languages, while the class library was extended among others with a join/fork framework, 37 an improved new file I/O library and support for new network protocols such as SCTP. [1] It was bundled with a database manager and facilitates the use of scripting languages with the JVM (such as JavaScript using Mozilla’s Rhino engine). [1]

Although application monitoring is a function of the JVM, the JRE provides configuration options, which are the necessary baseline for monitoring. [4] Micronaut is a modern, JVM based, full-stack framework for building modular, easily testable microservice applications. [13]

It’s helpful to understand how the JVM, JDK and JRE interact, especially for working in cloud and devops environments. [4] In the layered view I just described, the JVM is created by the JRE. From a package perspective, the JRE contains the JVM, as Figure 1 shows. [4]

Modern performant JVM implementations all use the compilation approach, so after the initial startup time the performance is equivalent to native code. [1] In between these options are visual profilers like VisualVM that allow for inspecting a running JVM. These tools enable tracking down hotspots and memory leaks, as well as watching overall memory consumption in your system. [4] Memory management is handled through integrated automatic garbage collection performed by the JVM. [1]

Until Java 8, metaspace was known as permgen. Besides being a much cooler name, metaspace is a significant change to how developers interact with Java’s memory space. [4] The other memory options, heap and stack, remain the same in Java 8. [4] The current and only long-term-support (LTS) version is Java 8, while Java 10 is the only rapid release version supported. [1] Java SE 11 was released September 2018, the first LTS release since the rapid release model was adopted starting with version 9. [1]

A Java Virtual Machine is a running software system responsible for executing live Java programs. [4] The Java Runtime Environment changed all that, at least for Java programs. [4] The Java class loader is part of the Java Runtime Environment. [4] The class loader is responsible for correctly loading classes and connecting them with the core Java class libraries. [4]

The Java platform also includes an extensive set of libraries. [1] From Java 8 forward, Java automatically increases the size of the metaspace to accomodate your program’s meta-needs. Java 8 also introduced a new flag, MaxMetaspaceSize, which can be used to limit the metaspace size. [4]

When it was first introduced, Java’s “write once, run anywhere” principle was considered revolutionary, but today it’s been adopted as a norm for most software systems. [4] While Java’s floating point arithmetic is largely based on IEEE 754 ( Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic ), certain features are not supported even when using the strictfp modifier, such as Exception Flags and Directed Roundings capabilities mandated by IEEE Standard 754. [1]

While the class diagram looked a bit busy, the sequence diagram shows how simple this pattern is from the Client s point of view. [14] This schematic diagram serves to provide an understanding of the functions and workings of an installation in detail, describing the equipment / installation parts (in symbol form) and the connections. [15]

Although Java is largely an object-capability language, a stack-based access control mechanism is used to securely provide more conventional APIs.[3] GraalVM is a universal virtual machine for running applications written in JavaScript, Python 3, Ruby, R, JVM-based languages like Java, Scala, Kotlin, and LLVM-based languages such as C and C++. [6] In an application, it would be preferable to use the new Java Date and Time API ( java.time. [3] Java uses both compiler as well as interpreter while other programming language use only one, that may be compiler or may be an interpreter.For Example C and C++ use only compiler to compile the code and python uses only interpreter. [8] While this limits the propagation of maliciously crafted input which an attacker may use to overwrite native buffers, more aspects of the interaction between Java and JNI code require special care. [3] A programmer should try to ignore the use of goto statement, java focus to create a simple code. [8] The Java runtime environment often executes untrusted code, and protection against access to unauthorized resources is a built in feature. [3] Java Sound will load code through the javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem.getSoundbank methods. [3] C/C++ code, once successfully loaded, is not limited by the Java security policy or any visibility rules. [3] To provide in-depth protection against security issues with native memory access, the input passed from the Java layer requires revalidation on the native side. [3] Java hides memory management details like the heap object allocation via encapsulation, but the handling of native objects requires the knowledge of their absolute memory addresses. [3] Native antipatterns enable memory exploits (such as heap and stack buffer overflows), but the Java runtime environment safely manages memory and performs automatic checks on access within array bounds. [3] To prevent manipulation, native memory addresses kept on the Java side should be kept in private fields and treated as read-only from the Java side. [3]

During runtime native methods defined in a dynamically loaded library are connected to a Java method declaration with the native keyword. [3] Certain standard APIs in the core libraries of the Java runtime enforce SecurityManager checks but allow those checks to be bypassed depending on the immediate caller’s class loader. [3] In the Java virtual machine class loaders are responsible for defining packages. [3] For compatibility with versions of Java prior to JDK 6, check that the class has been initialized before every sensitive operation and before trusting any other instance of the class. [3] That’s why java does not support multiple inheritance through class but multiple inheritance is an important concept for programming that’s why java supports multiple inheritance through interface. [8] Java does not support multiple inheritance through class, because java is based on real world entity and multiple inheritance does not possible in real world. [8]

One of the most important feature of java is that, it is platform indepentent. [8] Why: Spring Boot, and more generally Spring Platform, absolutely dominates the Java ecosystem. [6] JCGs (Java Code Geeks) is an independent online community focused on creating the ultimate Java to Java developers resource center; targeted at the technical architect, technical team lead (senior developer), project manager and junior developers alike. [6] JCGs serve the Java, SOA, Agile and Telecom communities with daily news written by domain experts, articles, tutorials, reviews, announcements, code snippets and open source projects. [6] The explicit static typing of Java makes code easy to understand (and facilitates static analysis), and the dynamic checks ensure unexpected conditions result in predictable behavior. [3]

Over time, the role of Java EE in application development has evolved. [2] Java is a programming language, it is a technology which is used for software development. [8] A feature of the culture of Java is that rigorous method parameter checking is used to improve robustness. [3] The copyOf methods, which were added in Java 10, can be used to create unmodifiable copies of existing collections. [3] An unmodifiable collection can be created using the of/ofEntries API methods (available in Java 9 and later), or the copyOf API methods (available in Java 10 and later). [3] This service has no upstream dependencies and we are going to implement it in Java as the RESTful web API, using one of the JAX-RS implementations (to be precise, we are going to rely on Apache CXF framework). [6] For parameterised SQL statements using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), use java.sql.PreparedStatement or java.sql.CallableStatement instead of java.sql.Statement. [3] A typical use case is to black-list classes that have been identified as potentially compromising the Java runtime. [3] Clearing data structures has reduced effectiveness on typical Java runtime systems as objects are moved in memory transparently to the programmer. [3] As of Spring Framework 5.0, Spring requires the Java EE 7 level (e.g. Servlet 3.1+, JPA 2.1+) as a minimum – while at the same time providing out-of-the-box integration with newer APIs at the Java EE 8 level (e.g. Servlet 4.0, JSON Binding API) when encountered at runtime. [2] Frankly speaking, things do evolve over time, you may never feel the need to get off the Java train or your favorite set of frameworks and libraries. [6] Therefore, the first task is to identify an alternative that is implemented in Java before choosing JNI as an implementation framework. [3]

Java uses both Compiler and interpreter, it first uses compiler then interpreter. [8] Spring makes it easy to create Java enterprise applications. [2] In the early days of Java EE and Spring, applications were created to be deployed to an application server. [2]

In severe cases local programs may be executed or Java security disabled. [3] To minimize the likelihood of security vulnerabilities caused by programmer error, Java developers should adhere to recommended coding guidelines. [3] The following general principles apply throughout Java security. [3]

It provides a more complete set of security-specific coding guidelines targeted at the Java programming language. [3] Hello Developers, In this article, I have explained many things regarding Java and I have also explained some important features of Java which played important role for making Java different and better than other programming languages. [8] Java has internal pointer which is used only by java, this feature is called restricted pointer. [8] The toUnmodifiableList(), toUnmodifiableSet(), and toUnmodifiableMap() collectors in Java 10 and later can be used to create unmodifiable collections from the elements of a stream. [3]

Java is an Object Oriented programming language which is developed by James Gosling and it was published by Sun Microsystems in 1995. [8] Construction of immutable objects can be made easier by providing builders (cf. Effective Java ). [3] Once an object has been serialized the Java language’s access controls can no longer be enforced and attackers can access private fields in an object by analyzing its serialized byte stream. [3]

These guidelines are also applicable to software written for previous versions of Java. [3] Therefore, native code needs to explicitly check for exceptions after operations, especially when calling into Java methods that may throw exceptions. [3] Native code frequently needs to return error values and the calling Java method should be prepared to handle such error conditions accordingly. [3] Guideline 9-8 explains access checks made on acquiring ClassLoader instances through various Java library methods. [3]

Although is it is not impossible to find exploitable holes in the Java layer, C/C++ coding flaws may provide attackers with a faster path towards exploitability. [3] Java deserialization and Java Beans XML deserialization of malicious data may result in unbounded memory or CPU usage. [3] It is important to be particularly careful when using Java Server Pages (JSP). [3] Long Term Persistence of JavaBeans Components supports execution of Java statements. [3] Java does not support goto statement while C and C++ supports goto statement. [8]

Over the years many organizations have accumulated tremendous expertise around one particular programming language and its ecosystem, like for example Java, the subject of our tutorial. [6] As we know java is high level, object-oriented programming language. [8]

There is nothing wrong with staying monoglot and building your microservices all the way on Java. [6] This option will not protect against subtle semantic conversion errors that can occur on the boundary between native code and Java. [3]

One of the main design considerations for the Java platform is to provide a restricted environment for executing code with different permission levels. [3] The Java Platform provides a robust basis for secure systems through features such as memory-safety. [3] The Java language and virtual machine provide many features to mitigate common programming mistakes. [3]

These guidelines are of interest to all Java developers, whether they create trusted end-user applications, implement the internals of a security component, or develop shared Java class libraries that perform common programming tasks. [3] Actually java has pointer only for internal work and it did not provide access of pointer to external users because of security, java user can’t use pointer in java program. [8] Native interfaces allow Java programs to interact with APIs that originally do not provide Java bindings. [3] While pure Java code is effectively immune to traditional buffer overflow attacks, native methods are not. [3] For Example: If you have written Java code on one machine, suppose Windows, than it can also be executed on Linux, Unix, Macintosh platform without making any changes. [8] Platform independent means that java code does not depend on any machine. [8] Write your java code on one machine and you can excute the same code on other machine as well without making any changes in your code. [8]

Java code is subject to runtime checks for type, array bounds, and library usage. [3] As of Java SE 8, the java.lang.Math class also contains methods for various operations ( addExact, multiplyExact, decrementExact, etc.) that throw an ArithmeticException if the result overflows the given type. [3] System Administrators are responsible for running Java applications in a secure manner, following principle of least privilege, and staying up to date with Java’s secure baseline (either for standard Java SE or the Server JRE). [3] The pattern can be used concisely using the Java SE 8 lambda feature. [3] This document has been updated to cover some of the new features included in Java SE 11. [3]

These features also make Java programs highly resistant to the stack-smashing and buffer overflow attacks possible in the C and to a lesser extent C++ programming languages. [3] Java programs and libraries check for illegal state at the earliest opportunity. [3]

Native code has no direct support for Java exceptions, and any exceptions thrown by Java code will not affect the control flow of native code. [3] In order to prevent native code from being exposed to untrusted and unvalidated data, Java code should sanitize data before passing it to JNI methods. [3] This allows for parameters to be validated by Java code before they are passed to native code. [3]

That’s why we can say java code is write once and run anywhere. [8] Exceptions may occur asynchronously, so it is necessary to check for exceptions in long native loops, especially when calling back into Java code. [3]

Native applications may contain bundled JVMs and JREs for a variety of purposes. [3] While touching upon development of the polyglot applications on the JVM, it is unforgivable not to mention the cutting edge technology which came out of Oracle Labs and is bearing the name GraalVM. [6] It is not ready for production use yet (still in the release candidate phase as of today) but it has all the potential to revolutionize the way we are building the applications on the JVM, especially the polyglot ones. [6]

In the spirit of the true innovation, the GraalVM opens whole new horizons for the JVM platform. [6] When an object accesses fields or methods of another object, the JVM performs access control checks to assert the valid visibility of the target method or field. [3]

Beyond that, the Spring Framework provides foundational support for different application architectures, including messaging, transactional data and persistence, and web. [2] Indeed, the microservice architecture enables us to make such choices regarding the best language or/and framework to solve the business (or even technical) problems in a most efficient manner (but certainly does not mandate doing that). [6] The Apache CXF is not only JAX-RS compliant but provides a lot of additional must-have features for building successful microservice architectures. [6] The reservation service is the core of the JCG Car Rentals microservice architecture. [6] The API gateways secured their firm place in the microservice architecture since the early days. [6] Along the previous parts of the tutorial we have talked quite a lot about the benefits of the microservice architecture. [6] Making such legacy systems fit the microservice architecture may sound quite impractical. [6] Unsurprisingly, it is going to be built following the guiding principles of the microservice architecture. [6]

We will present the architecture of the reference application we are about to start developing. [6] Such bugs can inadvertently open the very holes that the security architecture was designed to contain. [3]

In the diagram below, classes loaded by B have access to B and its descendants C, E, and D. Other class loaders, shown in grey strikeout font, are subject to security checks. [3] Diagram of client-server communication showing servlets and JSP pages in the web tier and enterprise beans in the business tier. [16]

The Java language provides bounds checking on arrays which mitigates the vast majority of integer overflow attacks. [3] Java Serialization provides an interface to classes that sidesteps the field access control mechanisms of the Java language. [3]

Examples Java Code Geeks is not connected to Oracle Corporation and is not sponsored by Oracle Corporation. [6] By default the Oracle implementation of the XSLT interpreter enables extensions to call Java code. [3]

It is not required to make any changes in code if you are executing your same Java code on different operating system. [8]

In the below code we will open up the notepad and use the Java Robot class to write the message “hello from robot” in the notepad. [17] You can easily use JConsole to monitor the performance and follow up of Java applications.Trace the code in Java. [9]

The purpose of the kit is to provide unsound Java monitoring and management.Use in product and product environment. [9] Java not installed or JAVA_HOME environment variable not set Error when Java is not installed or the path is not set. [7]

JConsole It is a built-in Java profiler that can be run from the command line or in a GUI shell, and JConsole has been introduced since Java 5. [9] It can automatically discover local and remotely running Java processes using the Java discovery protocol (JDP). [9] The toolkit consists of three main components: the Java process browser, the JMX console, and the Java Flight logger. [9] We publish useful tutorials on Java, J2EE and all latest frameworks. [17]

Java uses Runtime class is used to interact with the runtime environment, only one instance of Runtime class is available for one java application. [17] Java Process browsers: allow users to list and connect to local and remotely run Java applications. [9] That JDK can run jconsole on PATH. When the analysis tool pops up (depending on the Java version running and the number of Java programs running), a dialog box may appear asking for the URL of a processConnections can also list many different local Java processes (sometimes including JConsole processes themselves) to connect. [9] Java uses jconsole to view Java programs running (JMX principle). [9] If not, you can’t use the flight recorder. After the flight recorder is started, it can record the server’s running status for a period of time and can be imported as a file backup, requiring the Java program to start with a parameter “XX: Flight Recorder Options defaultrecording”true can be exported and convenient to analyze at any time. [9] Before using the flight recorder, you need to add two parameters’- XX:+ Unlock Commercal Features XX:+ Flight Recorder’before starting the Java program. [9]

The tool provides a graphical interface window, and can intuitively understand the runtime information of Java applications. [9] These problems can be overlooked by many in day-to-day development (for example, when someone has the problem of restarting the server or boosting memory without delving into the root cause of the problem), tracking the source of Java application bottlenecks has always beenIt’s very troublesome to come. [9]

JMX?Java Management Extensions ?Java Management Extension is a framework for implanting management functions for applications, devices, systems, etc. JMX can flexibly develop seamless integrated system, network and service management applications across a series of heterogeneous operating system platforms, system architecture and network transport protocols. [9] The reason for this is that the physical memory actually obtained by the JVM is limited, so memory recovery and reuse are required when it is not used. [9] Sometimes the JVM needs to find out how the data on the heap is being used at this point and expand the rest of the space that’s garbageGarbage collection. [9]

Connecting to the server in the above way revealed a problem that the CPU could not be monitored, indicating that it was not supported by the JVM, so we would still use JMX to connect to the remote host. [9]
